<p class="p_Normal">Finally, copy the PLUGIN folder in a path of the PC where full rights are given to the user (some files inside the folder must be rewritten, so the permission of writing and saving file is necessary). A correct path can be C:\WTX\PLUGIN.</p>

<p class="p_Normal">Inside this folder, the file <span style="font-style: italic;">vidrivesimwtx_conf </span>must be set; in particular, the IP Address of the Concurrent machine (the source of the data streaming, in this example it is 192.168.101.22) must be set, as in the image below. The number below and the list of channel will be automatically written when the streaming is started, so there is no need of writing it.</p>

<p class="p_Normal">In the <span style="font-style: italic;">Setup/General </span>menu it is also possible to define certain <span style="font-style: italic;">Special Channels. </span>These channels will be used by WinTAX for the calculation of the time/space X-axis, or for example to build the track map from the logged data. As shown in the image below, RTDB channels can be mapped to these standard channels.</p>

<p class="p_Normal">Now that everything is set up, it is possible to start the streaming of the data: while the simulation is running on VI-DriveSim, the first thing that needs to be started is the WTSServer, by clicking on the <span style="font-style: italic;">Start</span> button in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Configuration</span> tab. Once the button has been pressed and the <span style="font-style: italic;">Bytes received</span> are increasing (as shown in one of the previous images), the <span style="font-style: italic;">RealTime acquisition</span> has to be started. To do so, in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Acquisition Manager </span>window, press the <span style="font-style: italic;">Activate RealTime</span> button. It is also possible to add this button to a toolbar of the WinTAX main GUI.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal"><img alt="drvsim_WinTAX_07" width="1200" height="650" style="margin:0;width:1200px;height:650px;border:none" src="drvsim_wintax_07.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal">When the button is green, it means that the <span style="font-style: italic;">RealTime acquisition</span> is started. If everything is working correctly, the WinTAX GUI will appear as in the image below. On the left side, the list of the available channels (these are the RTDB channels that are logged) will appear. To see it, press <span style="font-style: italic;">View/Channel Browsers </span>or F2 button, then <span style="font-style: italic;">ChannelsRT. </span>In the plots, the data will appear.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">If the window is still not showing data in the plots, but with the RealTime acquisition button green, just click in the area of the plot and then press T. This will start the RealTime view on the plot.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE. </span>In the image below, a layout with plots is already created. To create a plot, press <span style="font-style: italic;">Graphs</span> on the main toolbar and choose the type of plot needed. Once created, it is possible to drag and drop the RTDB channel from the <span style="font-style: italic;">Channel Browser</span> directly to the plot. Otherwise, right click on the plot and press <span style="font-style: italic;">Properties</span>. </p>
<p class="p_Normal">For further informations on how to create a plot, please look at WinTAX Documentation.</p>

<p class="p_Normal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Data Analysis</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">If the send.xml file running on VI-DriveSim contains a drd, a lap will be cut every time that the starting line is crossed during the driving session. If no drd is selected, the cut of the data can be done by deactivating and reactivating the <span style="font-style: italic;">RealTime Acquisition</span>. It is possible then to look at the data from a lap, both when the acquisition is still going and when it is stopped. If the <span style="font-style: italic;">RealTime Acquisition</span> is still going, it is possible to switch between Live Telemetry view and Data Analysis view just by pressing T on the plot area.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">In the next images, the Data Analysis view will be shown.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal">From the WinTAX GUI, press <span style="font-style: italic;">File/Open Data </span>or F3 to open the <span style="font-style: italic;">WinTAX Data Browser. </span>In this window all the data saved in the <span style="font-style: italic;">C:\WinTAX4\Data\ </span>folder are shown; on the left it is possible to see the folders organized by track, depending on the <span style="font-style: italic;">Session Details </span>set in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Acquisition Setup. </span>On the right, all the laps for that particular session are shown.</p>

<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal">To open a lap, double click on it. It will then be loaded in the WinTAX GUI and shown in the plot windows; if still it is not shown, press T in the plot area to deactivate the RealTime view. In the image below, a lap loaded on the GUI is shown.</p>

<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal">There is also the possibility to compare different set of data, logged in different sessions. To do so, right click on the lap in the <span style="font-style: italic;">WinTAX Data Browser </span>and press <span style="font-style: italic;">Add to comparison. </span></p>
<p class="p_Normal"><img alt="drvsim_WinTAX_11" width="1152" height="624" style="margin:0;width:1152px;height:624px;border:none" src="drvsim_wintax_11.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal">By doing this on the two lap you want to compare, and then pressing Enter on the keyboard, the two laps will be shown in the plots.</p>

<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal">If another postprocessing is needed, for example on Matlab, it is possible to export each lap in different formats. By right clicking on the lap in the <span style="font-style: italic;">WinTAX Data Browser</span>, and then pressing<span style="font-style: italic;"> Export</span>, some different types of output files can be selected.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE. </span>To export the lap as a .mat file, Matlab must be installed on the machine.</p>

<p class="p_Normal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">After 16mins and 40sec the data logging stops</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">This is due to the Server time limit, which is 1000 seconds (16:40), for each lap. To avoid this limit, in case there is no drd in the send.file (for example in a test on a Proving Ground), cut the data manually by deactivating e reactivating the <span style="font-style: italic;">Real Time Acquisition.</span></p>
